The Glock 19 is the first firearm in Cry of Fear and the first of the 3 handguns in the game to be found. Simon finds it in the apartment building, hanging from the hand of a corpse in the ceiling. Later on in the game, Simon will find a tactical light for the Glock, allowing him to carry a light source and the gun without dual-wielding the cellphone with the Glock. This weapon is very effective against the Slowers and Suiciders, the latter leaving ammunition for this weapon after killed.
